Affiliate Disclosure
The reviews on ROVR.com are generally for items that I have personally purchased and own, however sometimes I may review items that I have yet to purchase or have been sent to me by outside companies. The photos (good and bad) of 90% of these items have been taken by me (still practicing!) with the balance coming from the manufacturer or other contributors. My main point is to let you know that you are reading about things that I have experienced, and that any recommendation comes from my own opinions.
While I noted on the main article that we may have affiliate links, Amazon requests that we publish this full text for you to review:
I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
I do partner with other affiliate networks for non-Amazon products and they work similarly in that I receive a small compensation if you purchase using my provided link, and you pay the same price as if you had gone directly to that website.
Not all items linked are affiliate links. I really wish that Porsche had an affiliate program! I’m just a poor sap who loves their cars, but don’t earn a thing if you buy that new 911 or Taycan.
Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or are interested in a collaboration by clicking on this link to Contact Me. I started this site mainly because I have personally ordered and/or taken European Delivery on several cars over the years, and generally have opinions to share. When I was contemplating links to help you find the items I was discussing, I learned about the whole affiliate thing. Well, it makes sense for me to participate, but it wasn’t my main motivation in determining what I plan to share with you.
